The Documentary "Rabrrrrrr"
One of the most memorable quotes, "A billion deaths were not enough for Rabrrrrrr" and "Hitler's millions were nothing compared to Rabrrrrrr's billions".

What were your favorite lines?

1. I liked the rare concert footage
of Rabrrrrr alighting from Apollo's chariot and smiting his fans before bursting into his cover of "Stairway to Heaven."

2. I was most touched
by his humble beginnings. The little Wisconsin cheese log cabin in which he was born, the interview with his mum where she gave us the recipe to Rabrrrrrr's childhood favourite, Hot Dish.

And yes, the rare concert footage:

3. I liked it best when Rabrrrrrr staggered in from the desert...

Atop a dying camel, and said, "We've taken Aqaba..." before fainting and falling into the sand at General Allenby's feet.

6. I was just surprised that there was any footage of that
I had no idea that anyone had a camera that day.

Of course, I was pretty dehydrated and suffering from heat stroke.

4. My favorite quote would have to be
He had more groupies than all the 80's hair bands combined.

5. I like the running of the bulls in Pamplona sequence
I thought the shaky camera work really added to the cinema verite, especially the part where Rabrrrrr was nearly gored.

7. That bull sure got his comeuppance in the following year's purge, though,
didn't he? Fucking bastard.

10. But you know, there's a lot of controversy over whether that
was really Rabrrrrrr. Remember, the coroner's report was suspect, and it's also unusual that not only the family, but the state feds, wouldn't
let anyone see the body after the coroner was done.

13. We are a very creative and thoughtful bunch here at DU
That's why I love it here so much!

I couldn't imagine FR moxying enough creativity to come up with just thread, let alone the many hundreds every day that are filled with creativity like this one.
